21st Century Necromancer-Chapter 592 - 588: Blood Orochi (Please Subscribe, Request for Monthly Tickets)

Gazing at the palace below that had already been submerged by the bloodwaters, Jounouchi Hiromi revealed a sense of relief after venting her frustrations, and upon seeing the approaching Queen Mary, she directly initiated an attack.

Several Blood Spears, condensed from fresh blood, materialized beside Jounouchi Hiromi. With a wave of her hand, they shot towards Queen Mary.

However, Queen Mary didn't make any attempt to dodge. Instead, wearing a mocking smile, she watched as the Blood Spears fired by Jounouchi Hiromi approached her...and then they came to a halt.

"You're using blood to attack me? Hahaha! Don't you know that my power is blood itself?" Queen Mary let out a wild laugh. With just a light flick of the folding fan in her hand, the spears that she had frozen in place were sent flying back towards Jounouchi Hiromi, even faster than before.

Although surprised that Queen Mary could reflect the Blood Spears, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't have time to think during the battle. She directly disrupted the magic structure of the Blood Spears, turning them back into blood. Afterward, she gathered the blood in her hands, forming it into the Blood Longspear she had previously used.

However, now without Xiao Lan to serve as her mount, the Blood Longspear merely maintained the length of a normal lance and didn't transform into the Dragon Lance that spanned over a dozen meters.

Clutching the Blood Longspear, Jounouchi Hiromi didn't charge at Queen Mary but instead tossed her Blood Longspear towards the blood-drowned palace below. After completing this action, she drew her Blood Greatsword, holding the sword with one hand to protect herself while reaching down towards the bloodwaters that submerged the palace with the other, summoning a Magic Circle that covered the entire edifice. Within the Magic Circle, the bloodwaters churned, as if something was being summoned by Jounouchi Hiromi from within the bloody deluge.

Chen Yu naturally couldn't let Jounouchi Hiromi confront Queen Mary alone. While Jounouchi Hiromi shot Blood Spears at Queen Mary, Chen Yu restored the pocket watch that had been hanging from his clothes to a black leather-bound tome and laid it open in front of him. Using the Great Cross Sword in his hand as a casting tool, he also summoned a massive Magic Circle in the sky.

Compared to Jounouchi Hiromi's subtler moves, the Magic Circle summoned by Chen Yu clearly posed a greater threat to Queen Mary.

Ignoring whatever Jounouchi Hiromi was summoning from the blood below, Queen Mary let out a wild howl, radiating a burst of blood light. All four faces on her abdomen opened their eyes, screaming in unison.

A wave of sound, almost visible to the naked eye, pushed through the air like a cannonball towards Chen Yu. If hit, the force would be enough to pulverize flesh and bone.

But Queen Mary was merely using the soundwave to disrupt Chen Yu's spellcasting. While screaming, the massive abdomen beneath her writhed, expelling a swarm of insect-like creatures the size of mosquitoes towards Chen Yu.

These mosquito-sized insects swelled as they caught the breeze, nearly doubling in size in the blink of an eye. By the time they reached Chen Yu, they had grown as large as palm-sized locusts, swarming like a dark cloud. The noise of their flapping wings and mouthparts was truly terrifying.

Yet Chen Yu was unfazed. He simply placed his unsworded left hand on the open "Multiverse Universal Necromancy Spell Compendium" and activated a Defensive Spell, summoning another Magic Circle in front of him, which formed into a Magic Shield.

The palm-sized mosquitoes struck the Magic Shield and turned instantly into ashes at mere touch, igniting a burst of dark green sparks.

Due to the sheer number of these mosquitoes, their rapid impact lit up the entire Magic Shield, making it appear as if a green orb had manifested in the sky.

Seeing that her summoned mosquitoes could not breach Chen Yu's defense, Queen Mary did not persist stubbornly. Instead, she commanded the swarm, dark as clouds, to sweep towards Jounouchi Hiromi, as if intending to completely devour her flesh and blood.

In comparison to Chen Yu, who could easily fend off the dark swarm with a single Magic Shield, Jounouchi Hiromi was somewhat inferior. However, she was, after all, a Legendary-rank Blood Knight. While maintaining her summoning of the blood below, she drew a circle with the sword in her other hand. From it flew countless Blood Bats, forming a blood cloud that violently clashed with the black mosquito cloud.

As she maintained the summoning of the Blood Bats to counter the mosquitoes and bought time, the entity that Jounouchi Hiromi had called forth from below finally revealed itself amidst the Blood River.

After a burst of intense red light, a huge red snake head and its slender neck rose from the Sea of Blood. The mere swaying of its head left the palace below in ruins. Once the snake head located Queen Mary, it launched an electrically charged breath attack into the sky at her.

Queen Mary also sensed the threat of this attack and dodged hurriedly. However, as the attack brushed past her and exploded into a burst of lightning, more heads rose from the Sea of Blood, launching subsequent attacks at her.

Seeing Queen Mary dodging the relentless attacks of multiple serpent heads, a smug smile appeared on Jounouchi Hiromi's face. She landed on one of the serpent heads, merging her lower half with it, and all eight heads rose together from the Blood River.

Blood Orochi, a spell developed by Jounouchi Hiromi after her ascension to legendary status and further strengthening her control over the Blood River. It mimicked the serpent Orochi from Japanese Mythology, summoning eight snake heads to launch various attribute attacks at the enemy—a very powerful Legendary Spell.

However, Jounouchi Hiromi's powers were still somewhat lacking and she couldn't bring out the full potential of this spell. Just maintaining the summoning of the eight heads was already taxing for her. If not for her enormous Magic Power due to her Dragon Bloodline, she wouldn't be able to use this technique. As a result, she could only simultaneously control three heads to attack, and the eight heads could not launch different types of attacks, restricted only to Lightning Breath.

In fact, if she could maximize the power of this spell, she wouldn't need to control it herself. Instead, the souls of the enemies devoured by the Blood River could be used to command the serpent heads to attack, while she would only need to maintain their existence, not control the offensive like she had to now.

Yet, even as an incomplete spell, it was still a Legendary Spell, enough to pose a threat to Queen Mary, forcing her to respond with full seriousness and effort.

All the while Queen Mary was preoccupied with Jounouchi Hiromi, the creature summoned by Chen Yu was also revealing its equally massive form in the sky.
